Be it known that I, CHARLES D. PATER-' son, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Worcester, the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Brush and Comb Holders, of which the followingis a specification. I

This invention relates'to improvements in particularly to' a device for supporting a hair brush and'comb and smaller brushes.

for use incleansing the teeth and nails.

It has for its ob ect the production from a single blank of a device having a horlfrom its front plate of said curved fingers to support a hair brush. a

The invention consists in certain'novel features of construction and arrangementbf parts which will be readily understood by reference to the descri I and to the claims hereinafter given.

Of the drawings: Figure 1 represents a ers ctive of a holder showing a hair rus comb, andtooth brush supported therein. Fi 2 represents a plan of the improved hol er. fig. 3 represents a front elevation of the same. Fig. 4 represents an end'elevation'ofj the same, and Fig. 5 represents a blank from which the holder is constructed, said figure being drawn to a reduced scale.

Similar charactersdesignate like parts throughout the several figures of the drawings. p

In the drawings, 10 represents a blank -having a rearward extension 11 provided with perforations 12 therein. ward extension 11 is adapted to be bent at right angles to the remainder of. the blank to form a horizontal shelf 13. The main portion of the blank is provided with 'another perforation 14 0 irregular form, thereby forming the supporting ears 15 and the extension 16 from which roject the fingers 17. The ears 15 are eac provided with an opening 18 therethrough, through which a screw is adapted to be passed to fix the bracket or holder to a wall after the ears have been bent into the position shown in COMBINATION BRUSH AND COMB HOLDER.

These ears form ameans for su port ng the handle of a hair brush as indicated in Fig. 1 of. the drawings, the brush being steadied by the back of thehandle caring against the downward extension 16 and the front plate 22. The back plate 20 and'front-pla'te 22 connected at the front ends by strips -76 -21 form a pocket for the reception of a comb, as indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

This makes a very effective support for toilet articles which -is very simple in construction and cured to a wall the ported thereby are 'in different vertical the tooth 'andnall brushes being 13, while in advance of sai shelf in a dif-- ferent plane is the comb pocket, while still The perforations 12 in the I 13 are of such a size-as to further in advance and nearest the user are the cats 17 supporting the hair brush.

The comb pocket is provided with an open bottom as indicated in the drawings and all of the parts of the holder are easily accessible so that every be readily cleaned, thereby providing a holder for such 'toilet articles which will be perfectly sanitary.
